UK pubs closing at a rate of one a day, 5,000 jobs at risk

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIn Britain, pubs are closing at a rate of one a day, and about five thousand jobs are at risk.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Sun reports the industry blames Labour's policies and says the government is hammering hospitality. The government hasn't agreed with that.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne a day, Hank. Somebody is taking these pubs. Who is the suspect?

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'd start with the man who orders one pint and makes it last until closing.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA one-pint man! He's been hiding in plain sight, sitting by the dartboard like a villain.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe's not a villain. He's a customer who has found a very quiet corner and a coaster.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou say that like you've met him.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI've held the same seat for years. Nobody makes me talk there.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the verdict is mildly worried, and Hank should buy a second pint. Brock, is the forecast as gloomy as this?
